Overall I’m very happy with this project! The front and rear came out absolutely amazing and the SeaDek is very easy to work with as long as you prep and take your time actually working with the product.

Tue, 14 Apr 2015 13:23:29 +0000http://www.seadek.com/blog/?p=10064Continue reading →]]>Yesterday we shared a forum posting from Jared on The Hull Truth (www.thehulltruth.com), on how to make a DIY kit for your boat using SeaDek Sheet Material (www.seadek.com/blog/hydrasports-2250-diy-seadek-part-1). Here’s Jared’s day two posting of his DIY SeaDek project:

Time to put the pieces of SeaDek down that I had cut the previous night. First we made sure to clean the surface using acetone so the material would stick 100%:

Was not fun trying to line them up perfectly but it doesn’t look bad:

Decided that we needed a piece down lower so started making the template process again:

More templates being made:

I’m very happy how the front has turned out, still working on the rear and will post tomorrow:

Nice job Jared! Stay tuned for Part 3 with pictures of the finished product!

“Felt like I should contribute to the forum and will post my experience with doing SeaDek myself. I ordered two of their large rolls of the gray and will be making my own templates, cutting them, and putting it down.

First, make the templates:

We used a clear material, cut to size, and held down with painters tape. Next using a straight edge and sharpie we did all the straight lines, then did the corners by hand:

Make sure you clearly mark each piece and where they go:

Next we made a working table with a piece of plywood, put the SeaDek upside down on top of it, and taped the templates on top:

After we cut them, for the corners we used scissors and rounded the edge, then sanded down the corners to not have any sharp corners. Also you can sand down any imperfections of your straight edge cuts if you messed up slightly:

Those are our pieces we made. Going to put them on boat tomorrow and will post pictures of the results. Probably will make some more templates with any remaining material and get them on the boat as well.

Thanks for the great step by step instructions Jared! Stay tuned for Part 2 of the DIY process!

The application was done by Metal Fabrication, one of our customers up in Tallahassee (www.metalfabtallahassee.com/gallery/airboat-seadek-2). We believe there is a great deal of potential for SeaDek in pool and spa applications such as these.

SeaDek Sheet Material is available on our website in a variety of colors and sizes. Made of our soft yet durable EVA foam, sheet material can be cut to fit with a sharp razor knife and can be applied with our simple peel-and-stick backing. www.seadek.com/c-5-sheet-material.aspx

Here is a great example of what you can do with SeaDek DIY sheet material. One of our customers just sent in this photo of a pad he cut for his forward deck which he uses as a fishing platform. He simply purchased a large sheet from our online store: http://www.seadek.com/c-5-sheet-material.aspx , made a template and used a sharp razor to carefully cutout his pad. Application was the easiest part; just clean the surface with acetone or window clearer, peel and stick using our 3M marine grade PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive). It’s that easy.
